《中国诗选》与1990年代诗歌的想象维度

Selected Chinese Poems and the Imagination Dimension of Poetry in the 1990s

闵正道主编的《中国诗选》刊载了1990年代前期的诗歌作品与诗论文章,为90年代诗歌身份的确立提供了重要基础,同时也为观察90年代诗歌的想象维度创造了可能。《中国诗选》刊载的诗人频繁进入90年代诗歌的各种选本,还成为诗歌史层面的“90年代诗歌”所重点讲述的对象。从想象力角度来看,该刊推动了90年代诗歌想象维度的建构,其中的诗歌作品通过“死亡”“衰老”等元素的书写,与90年代初期诗歌想象之间形成深刻的对话,并由此建构了“中年”的想象方式,展示了诗人在时代语境中对社会现实以及诗歌本身的被动指认。这些作品还呈现出对90年代中后期诗歌写作的观念预设,即诗人不再以一种主观的姿态来建构诗学想象,转而生发出客观的“看风景”心态,赋予诗学想象“客体化”属性。“客体化”诗学想象容纳了此时期诗人对于历史、现实、政治、经济、文化等诸种要素的综合考量,使诗歌写作的层次与空间得到拓展,有力地承担起90年代诗歌的责任意识。

Selected Chinese Poems,a magazine edited by Min Zhengdao,publishes poems and articles on po⁃etry in the early 1990s,which provides an important foundation for the establishment of poetry identity in the 1990s,and also creates the possibility to observe the imagination dimension of poetry in the 1990s.The poets contained in Selected Chinese Poems are often selected and utilized in various anthologies of poetry in the 1990s and be⁃come the focus of poetry history in the 1990s.From the perspective of imagination,the magazine has promoted the construction of the imaginative dimension of poetry in the 1990s,for through the writing of such elements as"death","senility",etc.,poems have formed a profound dialogue with the imagination of poetry in the early 1990s,and thus constructed a"middle-aged"imagination style,showing the poets'passive identification of social reality and poetry itself in the context of the era.These poetic works also present the conceptual presupposition of poetic writing in the mid and late 1990s,that is,poets no longer construct the poetic imagination in a subjective posture,but instead develop an objective"view of the landscape",which endows the poetic imagination with the at⁃tribute of"objectification".The poetic imagination of"objectification"accommodates the poets'comprehensive con⁃sideration of history,reality,politics,economy,culture and other factors in this period,which expands the level and space of poetic writing and effectively assumes the sense of responsibility of poetry in the 1990s.
